1 E, chegando a manhã, todos os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos do povo formavam juntamente conselho contra Jesus, para o matarem. 2 E, manietando-o, o levaram e o entregaram ao governador Pôncio Pilatos.

3 Então, Judas, o que o traíra, vendo que fora condenado, trouxe, arrependido, as trinta moedas de prata aos príncipes dos sacerdotes e aos anciãos, 4 dizendo: Pequei, traindo sangue inocente. Eles, porém, disseram: Que nos importa? Isso é contigo. 5 E ele, atirando para o templo as moedas de prata, retirou-se e foi-se enforcar. 6 E os príncipes dos sacerdotes, tomando as moedas de prata, disseram: Não é lícito metê-las no cofre das ofertas, porque são preço de sangue. 7 E, tendo deliberado em conselho, compraram com elas o campo de um oleiro, para sepultura dos estrangeiros. 8 Por isso, foi chamado aquele campo, até ao dia de hoje, Campo de Sangue. 9 Então, se realizou o que vaticinara o profeta Jeremias: Tomaram as trinta moedas de prata, preço do que foi avaliado, que certos filhos de Israel avaliaram. 10 E deram-nas pelo campo do oleiro, segundo o que o Senhor determinou.

11 E foi Jesus apresentado ao governador, e o governador o interrogou, dizendo: És tu o Rei dos judeus? E disse-lhe Jesus: Tu o dizes. 12 E, sendo acusado pelos príncipes dos sacerdotes e pelos anciãos, nada respondeu. 13 Disse-lhe, então, Pilatos: Não ouves quanto testificam contra ti? 14 E nem uma palavra lhe respondeu, de sorte que o governador estava muito maravilhado.

15 Ora, por ocasião da festa, costumava o governador soltar um preso, escolhendo o povo aquele que quisesse. 16 E tinham, então, um preso bem-conhecido, chamado Barrabás. 17 Portanto, estando eles reunidos, disse-lhes Pilatos: Qual quereis que vos solte? Barrabás ou Jesus, chamado Cristo? 18 Porque sabia que por inveja o haviam entregado. 19 E, estando ele assentado no tribunal, sua mulher mandou-lhe dizer: Não entres na questão desse justo, porque num sonho muito sofri por causa dele. 20 Mas os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os anciãos persuadiram à multidão que pedisse Barrabás e matasse Jesus. 21 E, respondendo o governador, disse-lhes: Qual desses dois quereis vós que eu solte? E eles disseram: Barrabás. 22 Disse-lhes Pilatos: Que farei, então, de Jesus, chamado Cristo? Disseram-lhe todos: Seja crucificado! 23 O governador, porém, disse: Mas que mal fez ele? E eles mais clamavam, dizendo: Seja crucificado!

24 Então, Pilatos, vendo que nada aproveitava, antes o tumulto crescia, tomando água, lavou as mãos diante da multidão, dizendo: Estou inocente do sangue deste justo; considerai isso. 25 E, respondendo todo o povo, disse: O seu sangue caia sobre nós e sobre nossos filhos. 26 Então, soltou-lhes Barrabás e, tendo mandado açoitar a Jesus, entregou-o para ser crucificado.

27 E logo os soldados do governador, conduzindo Jesus à audiência, reuniram junto dele toda a coorte. 28 E, despindo-o, o cobriram com uma capa escarlate. 29 E, tecendo uma coroa de espinhos, puseram-lha na cabeça e, em sua mão direita, uma cana; e, ajoelhando diante dele, o escarneciam, dizendo: Salve, Rei dos judeus! 30 E, cuspindo nele, tiraram-lhe a cana e batiam-lhe com ela na cabeça. 31 E, depois de o haverem escarnecido, tiraram-lhe a capa, vestiram-lhe as suas vestes e o levaram para ser crucificado.

32 E, quando saíam, encontraram um homem cireneu, chamado Simão, a quem constrangeram a levar a sua cruz.

33 E, chegando ao lugar chamado Gólgota, que significa Lugar da Caveira, 34 deram-lhe a beber vinho misturado com fel; mas ele, provando-o, não quis beber. 35 E, havendo-o crucificado, repartiram as suas vestes, lançando sortes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo profeta: Repartiram entre si as minhas vestes, e sobre a minha túnica lançaram sortes. 36 E, assentados, o guardavam ali. 37 E, por cima da sua cabeça, puseram escrita a sua acusação: Este é Jesus, O Rei dos Judeus. 38 E foram crucificados com ele dois salteadores, um, à direita, e outro, à esquerda. 39 E os que passavam blasfemavam dele, meneando a cabeça 40 e dizendo: Tu, que destróis o templo e, em três dias, o reedificas, salva-te a ti mesmo; se és o Filho de Deus, desce da cruz. 41 E da mesma maneira também os príncipes dos sacerdotes, com os escribas, e anciãos, e fariseus, escarnecendo, diziam: 42 Salvou os outros e a si mesmo não pode salvar-se. Se é o Rei de Israel, desça, agora, da cruz, e creremos nele; 43 confiou em Deus; livre-o agora, se o ama; porque disse: Sou Filho de Deus. 44 E o mesmo lhe lançaram também em rosto os salteadores que com ele estavam crucificados.

45 E, desde a hora sexta, houve trevas sobre toda a terra, até à hora nona. 46 E, perto da hora nona, exclamou Jesus em alta voz, dizendo: Eli, Eli, lemá sabactâni, isto é, Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste? 47 E alguns dos que ali estavam, ouvindo isso, diziam: Este chama por Elias. 48 E logo um deles, correndo, tomou uma esponja, e embebeu-a em vinagre, e, pondo-a numa cana, dava-lhe de beber. 49 Os outros, porém, diziam: Deixa, vejamos se Elias vem livrá-lo. 50 E Jesus, clamando outra vez com grande voz, entregou o espírito.

51 E eis que o véu do templo se rasgou em dois, de alto a baixo; e tremeu a terra, e fenderam-se as pedras. 52 E abriram-se os sepulcros, e muitos corpos de santos que dormiam foram ressuscitados; 53 E, saindo dos sepulcros, depois da ressurreição dele, entraram na Cidade Santa e apareceram a muitos. 54 E o centurião e os que com ele guardavam a Jesus, vendo o terremoto e as coisas que haviam sucedido, tiveram grande temor e disseram: Verdadeiramente, este era o Filho de Deus.

55 E estavam ali, olhando de longe, muitas mulheres que tinham seguido Jesus desde a Galileia, para o servir, 56 entre as quais estavam Maria Madalena, e Maria, mãe de Tiago e de José, e a mãe dos filhos de Zebedeu.

57 E, vinda já a tarde, chegou um homem rico de Arimateia, por nome José, que também era discípulo de Jesus. 58 Este foi ter com Pilatos e pediu-lhe o corpo de Jesus. Então, Pilatos mandou que o corpo lhe fosse dado. 59 E José, tomando o corpo, envolveu-o num fino e limpo lençol, 60 e o pôs no seu sepulcro novo, que havia aberto em rocha, e, rolando uma grande pedra para a porta do sepulcro, foi-se. 61 E estavam ali Maria Madalena e a outra Maria, assentadas defronte do sepulcro.

62 E, no dia seguinte, que é o dia depois da Preparação, reuniram-se os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os fariseus em casa de Pilatos, 63 dizendo: Senhor, lembramo-nos de que aquele enganador, vivendo ainda, disse: Depois de três dias, ressuscitarei. 64 Manda, pois, que o sepulcro seja guardado com segurança até ao terceiro dia; não se dê o caso que os seus discípulos vão de noite, e o furtem, e digam ao povo: Ressuscitou dos mortos; e assim o último erro será pior do que o primeiro. 65 E disse-lhes Pilatos: Tendes a guarda; ide, guardai-o como entenderdes. 66 E, indo eles, seguraram o sepulcro com a guarda, selando a pedra.

1 When morning came, all the high priests and the elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put him to death.2 They bound him with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the governor.3 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, regretted what had happened when he saw that Jesus was condemned. He brought the thirty pieces of silver back to the high priests and elders,4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood."But they said, "What do we care? See to that yourself."5 Then he flung the pieces of silver into the sanctuary and went outside. Then he went away and hanged himself.6 The high priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put this into the temple treasury, because it is blood money."7 So they decided to use the money to buy the Potter's Field as a burial ground for foreigners.8 That is why that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.9 Then what had been declared through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled when he said, "They took the thirty pieces of silver,the value of the man on whom a price had been set by the Israelites,10 and they gave them for the potter's field,as the Lord commanded me."11 Meanwhile, Jesus was made to stand in front of the governor. The governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"Jesus said,"You say so."12 While Jesus was being accused by the high priests and elders, he made no reply.13 Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear how many charges they're bringing against you?"14 But Jesus did not reply at all, so that the governor was very surprised.15 At every festival the governor had a custom of releasing to the crowd any prisoner whom they wanted.16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.17 So when the people had gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which man do you want me to release for you—Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Christ?"18 For he knew that they had handed him over because of jealousy.19 While he was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent him a message. It said, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for today I have suffered terribly because of a dream about him."20 But the high priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to demand that Jesus be put to death.21 So the governor said to them, "Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?"They said, "Barabbas!"22 Pilate said to them, "Then what should I do with Jesus, who is called the Christ?"They all said, "Let him be crucified!"23 He asked, "What has he done wrong?"But they kept shouting louder and louder, "Let him be crucified!"24 Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was about to break out instead. So he took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. You must see to that yourselves."25 All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and our children!"26 Then he released Barabbas for them, but he had Jesus whipped and handed over to be crucified.27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the imperial headquarters and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him.28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.29 Twisting some thorns into a victor's crown, they placed it on his head and put a stick in his right hand. They knelt down in front of him and began making fun of him, saying, "Long live the king of the Jews!"30 Then they spit on him and took the stick and hit him repeatedly on his head.31 When they had finished making fun of him, they stripped him of the robe, put his own clothes back on him, and led him away to crucify him.32 As they were leaving, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to carry Jesus’ cross.33 When they came to a place called Golgotha (which means "Skull Place"),34 they offered him a drink of wine mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it.35 After they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by throwing dice.36 Then they sat down there and continued guarding him.37 Above his head they placed the charge against him. It read, "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews."38 At that time two bandits were crucified with him, one on his right and the other on his left.39 Those who passed by kept insulting him, shaking their heads,40 and saying, "You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days—save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"41 In the same way the high priests, along with the scribes and elders, were also making fun of him. They kept saying,42 "He saved others but can't save himself! He is the king of Israel. Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he cares for him. After all, he said,‘I am the Son of God,’"44 Even the bandits who were crucified with him kept insulting him in the same way.45 Now from noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.46 About three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice,"Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?", which means,"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"47 When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling for Elijah."48 So one of the men at once ran off, took a sponge, and soaked it in some sour wine. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink.49 But the others kept saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah will come and save him."50 Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice again and gave up his spirit.51 Suddenly the curtain in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were split open,52 the tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had died were raised.53 After his resurrection, they came out of their tombs and went into the Holy City and appeared to many people.54 When the centurion and those guarding Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things that were taking place, they were terrified and said, "This man certainly was the Son of God!"55 Now many women were also there, watching from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had ministered to him.56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.57 When evening came, a rich man arrived from Arimathea. His name was Joseph, and he had become a disciple of Jesus.58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered it to be handed over.59 So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth.60 Then he placed it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out of the rock. After rolling a large stone across the door of the tomb, he went away.61 But Mary Magdalene and the other Mary remained there, sitting in front of the tomb.62 The next day (which is after the Day of Preparation), the high priests and Pharisees gathered before Pilate63 and said, "Sir, we remember how that impostor said while he was still alive,‘After three days I will be raised.’64 Therefore, order the tomb to be secured until the third day, or his disciples may go and steal him and then tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ Then the last deception would be worse than the first one."65 Pilate told them, "You have a military guard. Go and make the tomb as secure as you know how."66 So they went and secured the tomb by putting a seal on the stone in the presence of the guards.
